I guess just an unusual dark sparrow?

Sorry, I don't have my computer with me to share the photos properly.

Photographed this morning.

Thank you,

Jose

I wouldn't risk judging the colour in a photo of a photo on a screen of this low quality (better to have waited until you are able to post the actual photo), but it looks ok for house sparrow. In my opinion.

Thank you Butty! You got a point. It was darker in person, so strange. It was a with a group of other house sparrows and he clearly stood out. Will share proper pics as soon as I can. Cheers.

I'd say clearly a dark smudgy House Sparrow, even in this screen

I've seen exactly the same contrast in a flock of House Sparrows in Cyprus, though in my case it was even darker with almost a black chest.
